Trickster Stat Priority

I know that Dex, Strength, Charisma are important for Tricksters. But what about the other stats? Deflection, Defense, Life Steal, Armor piercing, ect. The reason I ask is because I want to know because when a gear has the little recommended icon on the tool tip I think that's just based on what level the item is not how viable it is for your character. Thoughts, opinions? Share them here.

Secondly, Trickster Rogues are all about offense, so I would stick to statistics that focus on offense. Deflection, Defense, etc., are probably not going to help you out as much as Armor Penetration or an increased chance to crit.
Yeah I agree.
Well, so far I noticed two real build that are effective. The first is the perma stealth build and the second is the crit build.
The perma stealth build is fairly fun and is great solo because you hardly ever take any damage and still puts out great dps, On this build I would focus a bit more on strength and power and armor penetration as you want to get your base hits up to take advantage of the bonus damage from stealth.
The crit build needs to stack Dex and critical hit and power. Armor penetration seems to have less of an impact in that build than it did on the stealth build, mostly because you got more effect by just stacking crit and power. The other thing is you want a bit more defense as you will take more damage solo if your using the crit build compared to the steath build.
I really never was able to make the third rogue option really compete with the other two, it just did not have the synergy of the others.
Whats your @name in game?
ya.. i also new.. and dont know.. can some one give more detail info .. dex for what .. charming and str for what.. pls help and thx
so combat advantage damage works only when your behind or stealthed?
stack crit + def
I basically stacked a lot of power and crit chance. Recovery might be worthwhile later on, but early on a 1-2% reduction to your cooldowns isn't worth it. And Armour Penetration really isn't needed when levelling.
However dont wanna spoil much but in the seconddungon vs last boss i had a hardtime with all the aoe damage. Perhaps worth adding lifesteal or hp on some itemslots aswell.
You get combat advantage if you are behind your target, regardless if anything else is attacking from the front. If you look at the ring around your target's feet, you'll see an area that is purple. That's where you need to be to get combat advantage.
You also get combat advantage when you are in stealth. If you look, you'll notice that all enemies have a full purple circle when you are in stealth. You also get combat advantage against enemies with certain status effects, such as daze. Just look for the purple in the rings to be sure, and I believe your damage numbers appear orange instead of yellow when you're getting the bonus damage as well.
That little recommended icon is a bit misleading, at present, and should not be relied on at this juncture. The only *real* apparent criteria it uses at present appears to be what the item would sell for to a vendor. Not how important such an item would be to a TR in general, nor how important the stats on the item would be for your particular build...
I can confirm this. I had green belt with around 150 HP and 30 odd crit then found a blue belt that had 7 power. Even though it was clearly a downgrade it was marked as recommended so at this stage either some items are broken and not displaying their true stats or the recommended tag is broken and being applied to items based mostly, if not purely, on their rarity.
I made this video where you can see the purple around the enemies and different colours of damage.
I will probably stick to DEX + CHA and stay behind the mobs OR, DO DEX/STR/CHA without a preferred stat.
Unless the way those bonuses stack is weird, STR seems universally better for damage. Unfortunately, the other CHA bonuses don't seem to add much, so I went with STR. Maybe of CHA increased your stealth recharge rate? Or even ability recharge on CHA would make it competitive.
Str gives increased damage and stamina regen
Cha gives pet power, combat advantage bonus, and deflection
I rolled a half orc and my starting stats were 20, 15, 13, and I pumped up dex and str at every stat increase.
As for stat priority, weapon damage was the highest priority, followed by power, and then crit/ArPen were equal, and recovery lastly. If I had to choose a defensive stat, go for AC first , then defense over deflection. Defense rating gives almost 4x more benefit point for point.
I went for more of a perma stealth/combat advantage build, so action points were never lacking. In some cases, my daily would be ready long before finding a pack that I could justify using a daily on.
i doubt Defense is better than Deflection... specially in PVP where everyone is stacking Armor Pen, so Deflection is more useful here
the defense u have will be useless due to the Armor Pen other people have, you'll be killed instantly. Deflection will "Evade" or "Dodge" a whole attack completely, its chance based but its worth it cuz u might be able to Dodge a Power they throw at u.
